The Beagle

The Beagle is a short, compact scent hound recognized for coupling an acute sense of smell with a very sweet & personable disposition.

Used to track and hunt hare, pheasant, quail, rabbits, fox, and even raccoons, Beagles are notorious for their loud, very unique howl (also known as a baying cry) that has been infamously sought after by hunting horsemen.

Historically speaking, the regal ties of the Beagle can be traced back through literature, as well as, the arts of both the 16th & 17th Centuries.

Many members of the British monarchy- including Queen Elizabeth I, Edward II, & Henry VII- are each said to have been avid fans of their very own packs of Pocket Beagles, Glove Beagles, or Singing Beagles.
